Shuangjiao

The famine and drought spread to the south. By May, people in many areas not only refused to pay money and food, but also rushed into the officials' homes, emptied their belongings, and destroyed them if they could not be moved.

The higher-level government was overwhelmed and tried to comfort them. If it really didn't work, they sent troops to suppress it.

When the news spread to Luoyang, the emperor, who was sitting safely on the throne, suddenly fell off his seat. Fortunately, the left and right quickly helped him up, so that he didn't break his head.

The emperor was frightened, his originally weak body became weaker at the turn of the seasons, and he fell into bed as soon as the wind blew.

As soon as the emperor fell, monsters from all sides appeared on the stage.

The first to attack was Wei Su, who simply wrote a memorial, bluntly saying that he wanted to return to Weidi, and without waiting for the emperor's approval, he collected his things and wanted to leave.

When Liu Xiancong reacted, Wei Su had already left the city for ten miles.

You can't catch up even if you run fast.

There are twelve states in the world, the Wei family controls the five states in the north, the three states in the south are in the hands of King Zhao, and the four states in the Central Plains surround the capital Luoyang.

In addition to Linzhou, there were civil unrest in the other three prefectures in the Central Plains, especially in the prefecture bordering Wei, where uprisings continued one after another.

Looking at the circles drawn by the red pen on the map, Wen Goro frowned, and flicked the uppermost area with his hand.

There are so many red circles in this area that there is almost no blank space.

Wen Xueqing was on the side, holding her chin, silently counting the number of red circles on the map.

"Don't count," Wen Wulang interrupted her train of thought, "Hurry up and pack up and go back to Linzhou."

Looking at the area that this road will pass through, it is enough for Wen Goro to worry.

Now that the Tian family still has some residual power to intimidate them, it is important to set off as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty refuses, and Auntie thinks that she must say goodbye to His Majesty." Wen Xueqing was also impatient, but Princess Lekang considered that this might be the last time the siblings would meet in this life, and she would only leave after the Emperor's permission. .

Wen Wulang rubbed his temples with a headache: "It's already this time, and mother still cares about this."

Wen Xueqing was helpless: "Auntie and His Majesty are brothers and sisters. Auntie may not come to Luoyang in the future. She just wants to leave perfectly."

"I know." Wen Wulang found a reclining chair, closed his eyes and sighed, "But the journey along the way has become more and more dangerous. If we drag on, the bandits we encounter along the way will become more and more rampant. Mother's ship may become the main robbery." Grab the target."

Being a bandit is death, and honestly being a good citizen is also death. What's more, being a bandit doesn't need to care about benevolence and morality, and the looted property is likely to support yourself and your family.

Things that can be understood at once, whichever one can survive, naturally one should choose.

"Why don't you send money to help the disaster?" This is something Wen Xueqing has been unable to understand. Since so much money and food have been collected from other places, even if some of it is distributed to the hungry people, it is only a drop in the bucket.

"That's what I want to ask too." Wen Goro didn't open his eyes, and his tone was exhausted.

Compared with the total amount of money collected, what the people want is not even a fraction.

However, no one nodded in approval.

The powerful dynasty has been leaking everywhere, like a big ship with a hole in the water, swaying in the storm, and may sink at any time.

"Or, I'll wait until my aunt has left?" Wen Xueqing suggested after holding back for a while.

If something really happened, Princess Lekang's status as Jin Zunyugui would be a living target.

Wen Wulang didn't agree immediately, but just looked up at Wen Xueqing.

"Fifth brother..." Wen Xueqing's voice was dry, "I really didn't intend to wait for Ling Qiniang."

"I'm not worried about this," Wen Goro's voice was very soft. "The later the later, the more likely to be an accident—do you know that some officials have reported that they found traces of the Huns sneaking in?"

Wei Su left in a hurry, no matter what he thought about this matter, something was wrong.

There is Wei Wang on top of him, what is he in such a hurry to do?Can the son surpass the father?

Wen Xueqing lowered her head, not daring to confess that she had helped Wei Su.

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out..." Wen Goro scratched his hair irritably.

"Then Prince Wei's son has arrived in Wei Di now?"

"How can it be so fast," Wen Wulang replied. There are countless uprisings and rebellions along the way, but it is not smooth.

He paused, remembering that Liu Xiancong came back after Wei Su had chased him to the city gate, sneered, and said mockingly, "If the grandson continued to chase him back then, he would definitely catch up—"

"Unfortunately, he has no guts." The siblings said in unison.

Wen Wulang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay, Zhenzhen, even the grandson dares to laugh at you."

Wen Xueqing bent her eyes: "The fifth brother teaches each other better."

The situation is indeed becoming more and more pessimistic, and Linzhou can't sit still, and frequently sends letters to urge them.

Wen Xueqing followed Princess Lekang to meet the emperor for the last time.

Princess Lekang burst into tears, choked up and bid farewell to the emperor.

"My sister..." The emperor's eyes were already cloudy, and he could only vaguely see a figure in front of him, and Empress Wei helped him up.

Princess Lekang shook hands with him: "Brother Huang, I'm going back to Linzhou, you have to take care of yourself, take good care of your body, and stop messing around."

She took a step back and bowed solemnly to Empress Wei: "I also ask the emperor's sister-in-law to take good care of the emperor's brother, and Lekang will bid farewell."

Empress Wei nodded silently.

Wen Xueqing glanced at Liu Xiancong, who was expressionless on the other side, and grabbed Princess Lekang's hand.

Princess Lekang's complexion remained unchanged, she held Wen Xueqing in her warm hands, and walked out of the palace with her in silence.

"We'll go back tomorrow." After leaving the palace, Princess Lekang finally spoke.

Wen Xueqing nodded.

It is best to take advantage of this chaotic time to leave. Not only Princess Lekang is leaving, but Wen Xueqing is also leaving.

The emperor was seriously ill, and by the time he realized it, Wen Xueqing had already returned to Linzhou.

This is Wen Goro's idea.

However, in fact, at the ferry early the next morning, before Princess Lekang's car arrived, there were already solemn soldiers holding guns on board.

Liu Xiancong, with his sleeves fluttering, stood at the ferry and waited.

"At the queen's order, I'm here to see off my aunt." Liu Xiancong was well-mannered and couldn't find a single fault.

Princess Lekang thanked her with a smile on the surface, but actually her teeth were about to be gritted.

With Liu Xiancong around, Wen Xueqing couldn't leave.

Wen Wulang was also displeased, almost couldn't maintain his usual smiling face, jumped up and beat Liu Xiancong violently.

In addition to Liu Xiancong, other royal members, Zhao Wang and Li Wang also came.

"My sister is going well." Zhao Wang sighed, "I finally came to Luoyang, but my sister is leaving."

Princess Lekang smiled and exchanged greetings with him, watching Wen Xueqing frequently from the corner of her eyes.

King Li is a junior, and Princess Lekang is not close to him, but everyone else came, and he couldn't help but simply salute and say goodbye, and then silently retreated to the side.

Concubine Li stood next to King Li, noticing Princess Lekang's small movements, she nodded and smiled at Wen Xueqing.

"My face is going to freeze from laughing." Wen Xueqing complained to Wen Wulang in a low voice.

Wen Goro opened the folding fan with a smile on his face, and the wind blew over Wen Xueqing, lifting a few fallen hairs at her temples.

"Hold it." Wen Wulang said, "Don't say anything, I will find a way."

Before Wen Wulang could think of a way, Princess Lekang made the move first.

She directly called Wen Xueqing to her side and helped her to board the boat.

Princess Lekang held Wen Xueqing's hand, smiled and talked to Liu Xiancong who followed.

The wind on the boat board was very strong, Wen Xueqing lowered her head slightly, the hair on her forehead hadn't been trimmed for a while, just past her eyebrows, sometimes the wind blew harder and could cover her sight.

This just happened to help her avoid Liu Xiancong's probing eyes.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared behind Princess Li.

Princess Li said a few words to her, and the figure looked up to meet Wen Xueqing's eyes.

Wen Xueqing blinked and turned her head slightly.

Just a gust of wind blew, and the hair pierced into the eyes, making it painful.

How long have they not seen each other?Ever since Wen Wulang talked to her, she refused Ling Rou's invitation, without explaining or apologizing, and forcefully separated the two of them.

...This seems to be the second time in the same situation.

This time, Ling Rou came, but she still had to leave.

They also agreed to go together.

Wen Xueqing is about to miss the appointment.

Ling Rou walked over and said goodbye to Princess Lekang calmly, without complaint or excitement, still gentle and elegant.

Princess Lekang was actually a little embarrassed, but Ling Rou was so generous, she didn't bother, after all, her family was more important at this time.

Lingrou couldn't help even if she wanted to.

I just hope that the little lady she admires will have a good result.

Unlike Liu Xiancong, after saying goodbye, Ling Rou turned around and disembarked without even looking back, simply and neatly.

Wen Xueqing looked at her back and couldn't help crying.

She couldn't help but raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes.

"What's the matter, little lady?" Liu Xiancong had actually been paying attention to Wen Xueqing, seeing Princess Le Kang holding Wen Xueqing tightly, he was very afraid that Princess Le Kang would just take her away.

"My eyes hurt from being blown by the wind." Wen Xueqing's eyes were red.

Liu Xiancong immediately seized the opportunity: "Is it serious? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"No need," Wen Xueqing refused, letting go of Princess Lekang's hand, "I'll just apply some medicine and it will be fine."

Princess Le Kang was stunned, and then said: "There is medicine on board, Zhen Zhen, come here!"

But it was too late, Wen Xueqing jumped off the boat in two or three steps, but did not hear.

Liu Xiancong hurriedly said: "The time has come, it's time for my aunt to set off, today is going smoothly, I hope my aunt will arrive in Linzhou as soon as possible."

He hastily said goodbye to Princess Lekang and called the boatman to set off.

But in an instant, the plan that was thought to be successful was reversed.

Princess Lekang stood at the bow of the boat, still in disbelief. She looked down for Wen Xueqing's figure, but she couldn't even find Wen Wulang's.

What's going on here?

Princess Lekang was very worried. Are Zhenzhen's eyes really that serious?

The oars cut through the water waves, the sails were raised high, and the two sides retreated. She could only wait until she returned to Linzhou to make plans.

On this side, Wen Wulang was also shocked by Wen Xueqing's sudden return.

But he is different from Princess Lekang, he doesn't think Wen Xueqing's eyes need to see a doctor.

Wen Xueqing's expression was obviously not right.

"Zhenzhen, what do you think?"

Wen Wulang couldn't figure it out, when Wen Xueqing was about to leave, it was impossible for Liu Xiancong to drag her in public.As long as Princess Lekang can bear it, Wen Xueqing will definitely be able to return to Linzhou.

"I……"

Although Ling Rou didn't say anything, but if she left, she would never have the face to see Ling Rou again in this life.

The moment she saw Ling Rou get off the boat quietly, Wen Xueqing had only one thought.

Even if she thought that she and Lingrou had no chance in this life, they would never see each other again.
